I recently joined MFP, and am loving it so far, however, I seem to keep going over the daily protein requirements. Any advise?

Get 1g protein per lb of your body weight

The default setting MFP has is really low for protein so it's a good thing to go over!
Try to get more than the defaul setting or change your settings so you don't see the number going into the red. Having more than enough protein is a good thing to protect your muscles and keep you feeling full longer.0 -
